Heidi Klum has confirmed that she is, in fact, dating her bodyguard Martin Kirsten. The revelation came during a recent interview with Katie Couric, during which the supermodel opened up on her ugly divorce from singer Seal.

Klum initially hesitated to open up on her current relationship, but broke the news when asked point blank if she has a new flame:

"He's a great man and recently we just got to know each other from a completely different side," she said.

She continued on to talk about the widely publicized divorce saying:

"Being in all of the magazine and gossip pages, that is definitely very hard and hurtful — and it's hard to go through a divorce," she said. "I'm someone who believes in a fairy tale and, when I said 'I do,' I meant forever," she said. "But I don't know, you never know what happens. Life changes."
